How do I make it so links only display when clicking on the h1 tag?
I have a dashboard with a panel which has a heading(h1 tag) and two links under it . Now, I want to display those two links only when I click on the h1 tag, which means by default links should not be shown. The sample code which I use is shown below:
<row>
<panel>
<title></title>
<html>
<h1>Click Here</h1>
<a href="https/xyz?"><h3>link to dashboard 1</h3></a>
<a href="https:events/abc? "><h3>link to dashboard 2</h3></a>
</html>
</panel>
</row>

Try the following run anywhere example in Simple XML (no JS required), which use Splunk link input to set the token for secondary links to be displayed. CSS style can be overridden using Simple XML CSS Extension which has not been added to keep the example simple!
<form>
<label>Show Secondary Links on Click of Main Link</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false"></fieldset>
<row>
<panel>
<input type="link" token="tokTitle" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label></label>
<choice value="panel-title">Panel Title (to be clicked)</choice>
<change>
<condition value="panel-title">
<set token="tokShowSecondaryLink">true</set>
<unset token="tokTitle"></unset>
</condition>
<condition>
<unset token="tokTitle"></unset>
</condition>
</change>
</input>
<html>
<div>tokShowSecondaryLink: $tokShowSecondaryLink$</div>
<div>tokTitle: $tokTitle$</div>
</html>
<html depends="$tokShowSecondaryLink$">
<div>
<a href="https/xyz?"><h3>link to dashboard 1</h3></a>
<a href="https:events/abc? "><h3>link to dashboard 2</h3></a>
</div>
</html>
</panel>
</row>
</form>

@navd Clicking on h1 will show the secondary link, however, what will hide it again or rather what keeps it hidden?

Try this:
<dashboard script="linktest.js">
<row>
<html>
<h1 id="link">Click Here</h1>
<div id="testDiv" style="display:none;"> <a href="http://www.google.com">go to google</a></div>
</html>
</row>
</dashboard>
linktest.js:
require([
'underscore',
'jquery',
'splunkjs/mvc',
'splunkjs/mvc/utils',
'splunkjs/mvc/tokenutils',
'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'], function(_, $, mvc, utils, TokenUtils){
var tokens = mvc.Components.get('default');
$("#link").on("click", function (e){
console.log("link clicked....");
document.getElementById('testDiv').style.display = "block";
});
});

make sure you bump the server after doing the change, otherwise the js will not be loaded.
